how do you say white girl in spanish

Question

how do you say white girl in spanish?

Answer 1

in spanish we don't use la chica blanca. The common way is Chica rubia if she is blonde and of course white. Guera is a word used in Mexico only. Usually in South America or Spain people don't mention the race except when they need to describe, so the may say la chica era de piel blanca, pelo rubio, ojos marrones... etc.

Nobody use caucasica to say white girl

Answer 2

La chica/niña/muchacha blanca.

La = the chica/niña/muchacha = girl blanca = white

Of course the listener may think that she was covered in white paint or something. It's probably better that you say "la chica/niña/muchacha de los Estados Unidos," or "la (girl) del (kingdom? I have no idea how to say it) Unido."

Reino Unido = United Kingdom - CalvoViejo, FEB 2, 2010

Hay muchas chicas en los Estados Unidos que no sean blancas, y me imagino que es lo mismo en Inglaterra. - hyrumt, FEB 2, 2010

hyrumt, that is very true, but perhaps you could describe if she is African-American or Asian, etc. - nrdyAWSM, FEB 3, 2010

Answer 3

Generally Spanish-speakers use specific terms to describe a white girl. The terms below can all indicate fair-skinned/ blonde women interchangeably, with guera seeming to lean more towards the meaning of blonde than the others.

Mona

Rubia

Guera

Welcome to the forum!

Note: When you research mona in the dictionary it comes up as a female monkey, however my Spanish-speaking friends insist this term is not derogatory.

mona means pretty but not necesarily blode or white. - juluque, FEB 2, 2010

That's interesting...one of my friends from Colombia uses mona that way.. could you share any more information about how you would use mona? Now I am curious! - renaerules, FEB 9, 2010

mono, na. (Haplología de maimón). 1. adj. coloq. Dicho especialmente de los niños y de las cosas pequeñas y delicadas: Bonito, lindo, gracioso. 2. adj. coloq. Col. Dicho de una persona: Que tiene el pelo rubio. U. t. c. s. 3. adj. coloq. Col. Dicho de - juluque, FEB 9, 2010

So the primary definition of mona is pretty but it can be used for blonde? - renaerules, FEB 10, 2010

Answer 5

Would is not be: la chica es blanca

Answer 6

I hesitate to jump into this conversation because...

"La chica rubia" would indicate a fair skinned or blonde girl. I don't think using nationality would apply, because there are lots of "non-white" people in the US and UK. "Rubio" indicates someone with lighter colored hair or skin than most of the people in the community, but not specifically "white", whatever that means.
